 ACCIDENT CAUSED BY FOD

It may present itself as a hand tool, dust, grime, oil,

metal shavings, nuts, bolts, lock wire remnants, pen,
etc.
FOD may cause many failures and damages, but
worst of all it might cause injuries and even loss of
human life.
FOD can also cause damage to the companys finances
and reputation.
 CRASH OF
AIR FRANCE
CONCORDE
FLIGHT 4590

The Concorde crashed into a hotel in Gonesse, France just 5 km

from the runway due to titanium alloy strip(FOD) founded on
runway.

Incident
 Foreign piece found behind aircraft prepared
for takeoff from Birmingham Airport. Pilot
did a walk-around inspection, and claimed
Two Days that there were no obvious aircraft damage,
Before and since there were no markings on the
object, the pilots assumed it was dropped
Incident from a truck on the roadway behind the
aircraft.
 On-board was 77 passengers and 2 cabin crew .
The Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) was being run
for 5 minutes in preparation of aircraft engine
start and push-back. Pilots were notified that
smoke was emanating from rear of aircraft
around the APU and precautionary action of
On Day of evacuating the aircraft was taken at Belfast City
Airport.
Incident The running APU then automatically shut itself
down. There were no smoke nor fire warning
received on the flight deck. No fumes nor smoke
observed in aircraft, but burning odor was
present.
 Faults:
APU disintegrated
Fire warning system not precise/accurate
Found debris ignored

Incident Effects to aircraft:

Paint blistered
Analysis Electrical wires with signs of heat damage; probably the
cause to automatic shut-down of APU.
The disintegration of APU exhaust duct liner allowed hot
exhaust gases into exhaust duct volume outside liner and
into the tail cone, causing the tail cone to be subjected to
excessive heat.

Controls
Accident investigators in New Zealand report on damage to
the flying controls of a 737 due to a trapped cleaning cloth.
 The Incident

During routine maintenance of a Boeing 737-838,

engineers found metal filings next to the stabilizer trim
cable drum in the forward electronics and equipment
compartment (located underneath the flight deck.
This foreign object had caused the stainless steel cable to
bulge outward, contact the softer aluminium cable guides
and the resulting wear had created the metal filings
In places the cables had worn right through the tubular
aluminium spacer and had started to wear through the
harder steel bolts that run through the spacers.
The rag also resulted in increased cable tension, damaging
a number of the cable pulleys between the front and rear
drums.
 Conclusion
1. 1.Accident caused by FOD
2. FOD comes in numerous way of form. It can be issue of life and
death and delivers financial impact to the company.
3. 2. Crash of AIR FRANCE CONCORDE FLIGHT 4590
The accident resolve that the lack of human factor such as
fatigue, stress and lack of situation awareness can trigger a
deadly catastrophe.
3. ID Duct Liner Piece Preceded Q400 APU Smoke Incident
We as a responsible personnel must be responsive of any parts in
the aircraft about the APU service limits , securing the
surrounding and proper safety checks for fire warning.
4. Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Damages 737 Flying Controls
The damage can conclude that all maintenance crew must not
leave anything behind inside an aircraft after completing tasks
specifically nearby system critical to flight safety.
